Nicaragua

In September of 2005, Walmart acquired more than a 33 percent interest in Central American Retail Holding Company (CARHCO) from the Dutch retailer Royal Ahold NV. In March 2006, we increased our interest to 51 percent and the CARHCO name became Walmart Centroamérica. We are the region’s largest retailer, with stores in Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua and Costa Rica.

In December 2009, Walmart Mexico announced the acquisition of Walmart´s operations in Central America from Walmart Stores and two minority partners. In early 2010, the transaction was completed and Walmart México became Walmart México and Central America. Our Centroamérica headquarters are located in San Jose, Costa Rica.
